Yesterday, we had reports of the capture of a major terrorist base in northern Iraq.
The United States said on Sunday that U.S.-led forces had destroyed "a massive terrorist facility" in northern Iraq which could have been used by al Qaeda to make chemical weapons. The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers, told CNN the site in northeast Iraq could have been a training ground and may have produced the lethal poison ricin that was found in a London flat in January.
Once again, "could have been" a training ground, and "may have produced" the lethal poison ricin.
Funny thing is, you could have said those exact same words a week ago and they would have still meant the same thing.
Heck, my bank account "might contain" over $80,000,000 dollars and I "may be planning" to fly to the moon any day now.
